SCOTT CHARLES HUGHES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 85048
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Scott Charles Hughes pled guilty to forgery. The trial court found Hughes guilty and assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility, then suspended imposition of the sentence, placed Hughes on community supervision for five years, and assessed a $750 fine. On December 9, 2008, the State filed a motion to revoke Hughes's community supervision. Hughes pled "true" to three violations of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Hughes violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Hughes's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of two years of confinement in a state jail facility.
Hughes's appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On April 30, 2009, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant.
We reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support an appeal. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. (1)
AFFIRMED.
